When I went home yesterday evening, I saw a little cat laying in the middle of the road. It seemed very hunger and it was also in greatly danger, because there were many cars, buses, and trucks on the road. I showed my sad to it and asked my mother whether I could bring it home as soon as I arrive home. While she was afraid that the cat was dirty, but she agreed. However, when I got out, the poor little thing was not here. I was told that it had taken by a warm-hearted person. I breathed a sigh of relief. It is known to us all, animals are our good friends and we should care more about it.

Do you think studying in a different country is something that sounds very exciting and great fun? Certainly, it is a new experience, one that brings the opportunity(»ú»á) to discover amazing things and a feeling of freedom. But do remember that there are also some challenges you will meet, for your views may disagree with the different beliefs, norms(Éç»á×¼Ôò), values and traditions of different countries. This is called ¡°culture shock¡±. The following are the stages of adjusting.

The first stage is called ¡±the honeymoon¡±, where you are excited about living in a different place, and everything seems to be fantastic.

Eventually, however, the second stage of culture shock appears, ¡°the hostility stage¡±. You begin to notice that not everything that seemed so wonderful initially is now awful, making you feel distressed and tired. Usually at this point, you use some defense mechanisms(»úÖÆ) to help you cope(Ó¦¸¶) and to protect yourself against the effects of culture shock. Two of them are ¡°repression¡±, which happens when you pretend that everything is acceptable and that nothing bothers you, and ¡°regression¡±, when you start to act like a child, sometimes careless and irresponsible. The third kind is ¡°isolation¡±. You don¡¯t want to communicate with anybody, cutting yourself off the world. The last type is ¡°rejection¡±, where you think you don¡¯t need anybody, feeling you are coping fine alone.

After you deal with your hostile feelings, next comes the stage, ¡°recovery¡±, when you begin to see things of a different culture you can learn to appreciate.

The last stage is ¡°adjustment¡±. In this stage, you have reached a point where you actually feel good because you are able to understand the new culture.

Culture shock is not something you can avoid in a foreign country. Actually, you learn how to interact with other people, and you learn a considerable amount about life in a new culture. Eventually, you learn more-about yourself.

April 23 marks the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare¡¯s death. Organizations in Britain have planned numerous events to honor him.

In Stratford-upon-Avon, his birthplace, the tourism organization has a great number of free events, including performances of Shakespeare¡¯s plays, and a dazzling fireworks display. And the BBC is broadcasting a live show from Stratfore-upon-Avon, celebrating Shakespeare¡¯s widespread influence on the world. In England¡¯s capital, the London Shakespeare Centre is holding a series of public performances, exhibitions and activities. It isn¡¯t just England that honors the anniversary of the death of this extraordinary writer. In Washington, D.C., the Folger Shakespeare Library, which houses the world¡¯s largest collection of documents relating to William Shakespeare, is displaying a series of exhibitions.

Shakespeare is probably one of the most famous authors and is considered a genius. He wrote around 37 plays and 154 sonnets(Ê®ËÄÐÐÊ«), and his work has been translated into over one hundred languages! He penned beautiful metaphors(°µÓ÷), serious dramas and amusing tales.

Shakespeare also invented many new terms and phrases. If someone¡¯s behavior suggested they were not being honest and should not be trusted, Shakespeare called their actions suspicious. If someone was being silly and perhaps looking like a fool, Shakespeare found their actions laughable. And Shakespeare called people who offered their opinions on the quality of something critics. Today, for instance, food critics and film critics give audiences their opinions of foods and films. The familiar phrase ¡°break the ice¡± comes from Shakespeare¡¯s play The Taming of the Shrew. ¡°The ice is broken¡± when a difficult conversation or meeting is calmed by some basic introduction, such as a simple game. More common words coined by Shakespeare include road, gossip, lonely, bump and hurry.

Four hundred years after his death, Shakespeare surely lives on£¬in everyday speech, as the most famous writer of all time!

The effects of coffee consumption on health have long been a subject of conflict and uncertainty.Since the 1980s,some have spoken out against coffee as harmful to health,while others have welcomed coffee for its supposed benefits to health.

According to a scientific report,mild coffee consumption,three to five cups per day,can he taken as a healthy dietary pattern,along with other healthful behaviors.The report also says that coffee consumption helps reduce the risk of heart disease and it protects against Parkinson's disease.

According to conclusions from a recent study led by Dr.Gregory Marcus,a doctor from the University of California San Francisco,daily moderate consumption of caffeine,less than 4 cups,is not associated with these issues.

Until the scientific community reaches a general agreement on the effects of coffee consumption on human health,it will be up to the individual to decide whether the benefits of drinking coffee are greater than the risks.

Food serves as a form of communication in two basic ways. Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust. Food can also have a special meaning, and play an important role in a family or culture¡¯s celebrations or traditions. The foods we eat¡ªand when and how we eat them¡ªare often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between rural(½¼ÇøµÄ) and urban(ÊÐÇøµÄ) areas within one country.

Sharing bread, whether during a special occasion(ʱ¿Ì) or at the family dinner table, is a common symbol of togetherness. Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests. Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread, so this tradition has its roots in the custom of sharing bread.

Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations. In the southern United States, pieces of corn bread stand for blocks of gold for prosperity(ÐËÍú) in the New Year. In Greece, people share a special cake called vasilopita. A coin is put into the cake, which signifies(Ԥʾ) success in the New Year for the person who receives it.

Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child, and food can play a significant role. In China, when a baby is one month old, families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving red-colored eggs to guests. In many cultures, round foods such as grapes, bread, and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity.

Nutrition(ÓªÑø) is necessary for life, so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world.

Summer has finally arrived, which means kids are bound for the outdoors. It can be exciting for kids and parents to have a great opportunity to go swimming, picnicking or on adventures. This time of year is also a dangerous time of year as almost half of all injury-related deaths in children occur between May and August. Whether it be in the pool, on bike, out in the sun or in the backyard is always important. Here are some tips to keep the family safe over the summer.

Water Safety

At this time of year, drowning deaths among children skyrocket£¨·ÉÕÇ£© compared to the rest of the year. Never leave your child alone in the water, even in shallow water. A child can drown in as little as one inch of water. Enroll your children in swimming lessons. Some swim schools offer class for children as young as 6 months.

Sun Safety

We are fortunate enough to live in the Sunshine State, where sun shines year-round. But with all the time you and the kids will be spending outdoors this summer, it¡¯s important to protect yourself. Make sure to use a widely-used sunscreen(·Àɹ˪) that blocks both UVA and UVB sunlight. Cotton clothing has an estimated SPF of only 6, so even if your kids are going out wearing T-shirts and shorts, make sure they are covered up.

Bike Safety

Nothing says summer like a nice neighborhood bike ride. But bikes are not toys and can certainly cause injury. Don¡¯t forget to always wear a helmet. Head injuries are reduced by 85 Percent when riders wear a helmet and other safety equipment like knee and wrist pads. It¡¯s estimated that 75 percent of bicycle-related deaths could have been prevented with bicycle helmets. When riding on the street, make sure kids understand all riding hand signals, ride with the traffic flow and stay as far right as possible.

1.Summer is called a dangerous time because children .

A. are easily injured

B. enjoy staying in the sun

C. want to learn swimming

D. refuse to accept advice

2.What can be learned from the passage?

A. Kids only need to wear T-shirts and shorts.

B. Bikes, like toys, seldom lead to injury.

C. Some swim schools offer children class for free.

D. Deaths from drowning increase suddenly in summer.

That woman carried a new blanket (ë̺) over her arm. Wordlessly, she gave it to me.

¡°Is it finished?¡± I asked.

She shook her head. ¡°No. It is ready,¡± she replied. I handed her the money and took the blanket.

¡°It is beautiful, so skillfully woven (±àÖ¯),¡± I said to my mother. ¡°But what did she mean when she said it was not finished? How can it be ready if it is not finished?¡±

¡°I will tell you later,¡± my mother said, ¡°but first I will take you to the Navajo(ÄÉÍß»ô) village.¡±

We went down to the village. A group of young men were making sand pictures. We walked through the whole village, watching the different things the people were doing.

It was not until that evening that my mother finally explained the Navajo woman's words.

¡°Did you notice anything about the things the people were making?¡± my mother asked.

¡°What should I have noticed?¡± I looked at her and asked.

¡°Each thing the Navajo make has one small part that is not complete. The designs in their sand pictures are often not perfectly done, for example ¡ªthe line of a circle may not quite close. If you look carefully at your blanket, you will probably find a stitch (Ò»Õë) missing.¡±

I took the blanket off, but it looked as perfect as any design could be. Then suddenly, I noticed that sure enough a stitch was missing!

¡°But why do the Navajo intentionally leave some tiny part unfinished?¡± I asked.

¡°They believe that when anything is completed or finished, it means the end has come ¡ª it will not be perfect until then. Then too, with a circle, they believe that they must leave a pathway for the bad spirits to run away and the good spirits to come in. So, often, they do not make the line close.¡±

1.The blanket the author received _____.

A. was poorly woven B. made her think a lot

3.Which of the following may the Navajo believe?

A. A stitch in time is very important. B. Life only becomes perfect when you die.
